Alfalfa and sorghum liay were used as roughness,, four lots iving fed ou sorghum mid six lots on ilfalfa hay. Three lots had a shed with protected yard attached, while seven lots had open yards with slight protection from alow shed some twenty. five feet to the north. Tlie lambs with shelter weighed an tverage of alemt 56 pounds each at the Iwginningof the Xerinietit, while those in the open yards were slightly turner, weighiog 61 pounds average. Of tlie six lots on alfalfa, llitve Were under shelter and three were in open ards, each lot under shelter being dup licated by a lot in the open yard. Three different grain rations were fed to the lambs on alfalfa. Lots 1 and 4 received alfalfa and corn. Lots 2 and 5 received alfalfa and a grain ration of three-fourths corn and one-fourth oats. Lots 8 and 6 received alfalfa and a grain ration of three-fourths corn and one fourth bran. Lots 7, 9, 0 ank 10 were fed on sor ghum liay and the following grain ra tions: Lot 7 received sorghum hay and corn. Lot 8 received sorghum hay aod three-fourths corn with one fourth oats. Lot 0 received sorghum hay and three-fourtlat corn and one fourth bran. i Lot 10 received sorghum hay and Ave sixths ci rn with one-sUth oil meal. The throe Iota under shelter on alfalfa and a grain ration made an average gain of $4 3 pounds in BH days. The throe lots lo opeif yards on alfalfa and a grain ration made an average gain of M.S pounds in 98 day. The thrie lots to open yards on sorg hum hay nod grain rations containing com, oata and btan, made an average gain of 30.7 pounds in 98 duys. Tlte one lot in open yard on sorghum hny and corn with one-sixth oil meal gained 20.7 pound in 9H days. The six lots on alfalfa ami grain nvule an average profit of (0.7'i H-r head.

TO THE PUBIIC- Fifth Annnal Announcement of Uordon Hospital, Cbadron, Mrbr. Six years ago this, month the Gordon Hospilul was established, Doctor Lang son believing thai a sanatorium equipped with all the most improved methods would be a grand thing for this part of the North West. No nioney was spared to get the best of everything perta'uing to au institution of this kind. From that time to this things have kept up to that standard and at the present time there is no hospital this side of Chicago so well equipped with every devise known to medicine and surgery. Many eople, even our own friends, feared that . it would be impossible h Him thinly set tled country to make a success, but time has proven them mistaken an today we are in lie ter shape than then and 'each yeai sees some decided improvement in various up to date methods to facilitate the cure of deseaae. ; Last year we added Turkish and Rus sian baths ns well as Electric ones. This year we h.tve acquired three stand nrd electrical devices at a cost of over Ooe Thousand Dollars. Our new Ray" is the most power ful that is made in Germany anil ab solutely harmless to both the patient and I lie one making the examination The old form many times injured the eyes of the examiner and caused un pleasant irritation of the skin of those examiced. This now is impossible with the improved "Crooks Tube." The "X Ray" eliminates all guess work for the doctor sees exactly the condition. Our new Static machine for generat ing what is known as Static or Friction- al Electricity was mada for us in New York, weighs over one thousand pounds and is as perfect as human work and skill can make it. . While this form of electricity has been used for years in Europe it has only recently been estab lished in this couutry." For the treat ment of KiieuniatiHin ot Neuralgic diseas es resulting form those conditions it has no equal. It is also the greatest nerve tonic .known to medical science aud will purify the blood quicker than all known medicine. ' Another new appliance is one to gener ate what is known as Ozone Ozone is made by a strong current of Static Elec tricity under great intensity reusing through air confined in a large hollow glass cylinder from which recepticsl it is inhaled by tlie one taking treatment. Ozone will cure catarrh no matter what part of the body or organ is diseased, the blood absorbs it in the lungs and carries it to every tissue in tlie body. In all bronchial deseases, asthma, or oven con sumption it works wonders. Rent K. Lakumon, M. D. Continued Belt week. A Qaeea's Cef) af Orief. The queen of the Belgians, who re cently celebrated her slxty-flfth birth day, comas to tb Ill-fated house ot Hapabutg. and her cup of grief has been more than full. Her hair la sild lo bay bwn white while she was still In hsr thirties. The queen's only son, the duke of Brabant, died suddenty under drcumstsnces which suggested poisoning. Her son-in-law was the rrown prlnoe Ruo'ph, who endd h! Ufa In a m;t tragic tnaunr-r.

Ihe use of aiultsia ed and harmful flavoring syrups at the soda fountains It by no means as uncommon as many people suppose. Aralysls has asowa that even the cheapest of these are often far from wholesome. Most pco- plo who have ben taught to ask tor; lemon or vanilla flavoring for the al- : leged re :i sou that those syrups were leas liable than others to au'te atlan1 will be surprised at the as '.rtion that there Is no extract for which substi tutes are more often used than vanilla. This Is said on the authority of the Massachusetts board of health. 7he . true vanilla baan coats from $12 to $16 per pound, and were there no substl-' tute It could not be used so freely anlj so extensively as at present. Vanildn, the active property of the extract, can' be made from other mbstanc s at a cost of about S2 per gallon. The art!-' flcial compound la chemically Identical with tfae vanillin f und In the trua vanilla extract and therefore has comr to br nsed extensively by manufactur ers and dealers. It has been made tot commercial purposas from turpentine, but more satisfactory results are ob tained from oil of c ot a on b'culc acid. There Is some comfort for con firmed soda water dr.nkers and a gen eral warning for oth.is in the further statement by the Ma. sachusetts au thorities that the metallic contamina tion of the water u-wd in a glass of soda la far more detrimental to the health than any adulteration. LOST HOUSEHOLD ARTS. TToawn of Tails? Are Not Vp la tkm Ba nestle Kronomtes. It U a general complaint among the housekeepers of England, where do mestic help Is drawn largely from the country vlllnges, thut on entering serv ice the) ire mostly Incapable of doing the simplest housi-hoid vork without supervision and that only a small pro portion ever learn. The reason Is not i far to seek. A couple of generations j ago half the cottages in England were ; schools for the teaching ot the domes tic arts. These are no longer taught because they are no longer practiced. Baking and brewing, cutting out and cutting down clothes, darning and fine drawlrj, (.tie care of poultry and eco nomical use -'of food all these will soon be artes pedltae, as far as Uj cottage is concerned. Women used to be able to make their husband's shirts. Olve nine cottage women out of ten nowadays a couple of doren yards of calico and they could no more turn It Into shirts tthan they could turn a lump of pig' Iron Into a dining knife. Cooking, even In its simplest form. Is being supplanted by the use of tinned provisions. To boil potatoes and ba con or to fry a bit of meat In the pan is about as much as the housewife can do. Womn of the type of Lisbeth Be tie have, been discouraged out of ex istence. Tne cottage woman of today has her pride, but it ts not in the home. She slaves to save her girls from what she and they alike have learned to regard as degrading drudg erythe uccessary work o? a house. All she ran save goes on their backs. "Look at them when they g4 out." she rays; "you couldn't tell them from the Miss S wets tones themselves." But when they go to service they have learned next to nothing. Least of all, have they learned to lern. Chicago Curoniclo. A Novelty la Carpet Cleaalns. The American ambassador remarked at a banquet the other night that many good Ideas which nad benefited mankind had their origin on the other side of the water, and tf cleaning car pets without either taking them up or filling the surrounding atmosphere with dust comes under the same rate- gory, our American cousins have bene-; filed the human race once more. A' machine which deals with carpets lb this manner was used at the Empire theater of varieties yesterday. Com pressed air la used to blow the dust out of the carpet, and the machine hi so contrived as to Imprison sll the dust In a bag. When the carpets are thor oughly clerned the compressed air current was charged with disinfect ants, which thoroughly Impregnated the whole floor. The machine was af terward ufled for the purpose ot clean ing the chairs and lounges of the theater. London Chronicle. Cm-no rations la Eaglaad. A curious Illustration of tne pawer ot corporations Is reported from Eng land. From time Immemorial It has been established law there tbst be quests made for the propagation ot secular or freethlnklng doctrines were subject to confiscation by the king, and thousands of pounds have been thus confiscated. Recently, however,! It occurred to some person to try a' new plan. A company known as the Secular society (limited) was lncor-1 porated for the specific purpose of re-1 reiving such bequests, and the boat English lawyers say that under Ma charter It can receive and use bequests for the very purpose so long held un lawful, k corporation la a atrauge en tltjr. ' i I.ICbtolag-- 1'lMfc Frequently Causes a Chans la lis Elements. It Is wfcll known that sweet milk will turn suddenly sour during a thunder storm and the fact is recognized that lightning Is the cause of the change. Fey, however, understand why this phenomenon occurs. It U not always the lightning that causes It, for the beat before the storm ie often great enough to make the milk ferment. But lightning can and sometimes does make milk turn sour by Its action on the air. Air, as everybody knows, is composed of two gases oxygen and nitrogen but these gases are mixed together, not combined. Lightning, however, makes the gases combine iu the air through which It passes, and this combination produces nitric acid some of which mixes with the milk and turns It sour. Perhaps it might be well to explain the chemical differ ence between mixing and combining. When different ingredients are put to gether without their undergoing any chemical change they are mixed, as, for example, grains of sand of various colors may be mixed in a bottle. But when the property of each Ingredient Is altered by the union there Is a com bination, as, for example, water poured on quicklime, which combines with It. so that the property of each is altered Thus it is that lightning makes the oxygen and nitrogen of the air com bine and the result Is no longer air but nitric acid and four other nitrous poisons. Cbtrago Chronicle. German Red-Taplaas. An amusing illmt at.ou of the a", tention paid to p.tty detal's and red tapism by the O rman gjve nraent U being told by the "oii'inental papers. At Thorn, In Wet Prussia, recently a huge placard, embell shed with many seals and government stamps, was pitted on the wa'l cf the rahway sta t'on. It look.d formidable mo.e so thun It really w.-s for It announced the sale by public auction of three iex ons. The porters on the line hal found three lemons at liberty In e freight car, and w th an hon sty more than admirable, tl.ey turned them over to the authorities. The stray lemons were duly advertls d for the time re quired by law, and, as no owner ap peared to claim thrm, they Ware, strlil r.t auction. The price brought was IS pfennigs, or abcut four cents, a trifle under the .market figure. , RAISED HIS SALARY. Way U Which atarey Fnaisbed Hm4 Um Writer Mho CneMd a Bow. "I was slashing copy on old Storey's Chicago Times many years ago," tald one of the guests at a reunion dinner. "We bad a correspondent In an Illi nois town who simply would not schedule his matter, but as he gen erally sent good stuff we let him run on, slashing bis stuff to suit the ex igencies of the night Besides, his stuff always suggested good headlines, and that was one of Storey's hobbles. On one occasion the correspondent ant up about 700 words which went Into 100 with nothing over. On the 100 words I constructed a headline which was right up to the mark. The next day I was instructed to tell the man who made out the checks for the country corre spondents to knock $5 off the corre spondent's pay. When he received his check he wrote to Mr. Storey, saying that under ordinary circumstances he wouldn't kick about the deduction, but in this particular Instance he did be cause the fool headline over the Item, mado by a fool telegraph editor, had infuriated the man whose name was mentioned In the dispatch and brought on a light between him and the corre spondent, the result of which was that the correspondent was fined $5 in the police court Mr. Storey was a very just man when you got at him In the right way. He Instructed the cashier to send the correspondent the amount of the fine and raised my salary be cause the headline I wrote had caused a row. That was his way ot encourag ing a headline writer." New York Sun. Her Xfeldealr Vlrtaea. In the days of 1770 or thereabout, while Phillip Klthlaa waa keeping a da.iy journal of hla life at Princeton College, human nature seems to have been much the same as In our genera tion. But Mr. Klthlan noted the dif ferences, social and temperamental, between the Northerners and South erners, and was greatly drawn toward the Virginians, of whom he writes: "The people are extremely hospitable and very polite, both of which are most certainly universal characteristics of tbe gentlemen In Virginia. Some swnar bitterly, but the practice seems to be generally disapproved." It is pleasant to read that all the failings, serious and minor, were lacking In Councilor Carter's eldest daughter, Miss Prtscilla, for Mr. Flthaln record with a vivacious pen: "She Is small of ber age, has a mild, winning Presence, a sweet, obliging - Temper, never swears, which la here a distinguished virtue, dancea Unely, plays well on key'd Instruments, and la on the whole In Uie 'first Class of the Female Sex." fits&nai Cent.
